DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may disclose Personal information about you to the following third parties:

These parties will only process your Personal Information to assist the Company with operating the website and Service and only for the purposes listed in the table above. We will protect your privacy and third parties are not authorised to use your Personal Information for third party marketing purposes.

The Company reserves the right to disclose your Personal Information when we believe such disclosure is required to comply with the law, judicial proceeding, court order or other legal process; to enforce or apply the terms of the T&C; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging Personal Information with banks and other companies and organisations (such as law enforcement) for fraud protection and criminal reduction purposes. This does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing Personal Information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of this Privacy Statement.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS FROM THE UK

Our business operations are located in the UK and in other countries. Some of the third parties we work with are based outside of the UK, so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure that it is protected by implementing one of the following safeguards:

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.

RETENTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

We may retain any information collected from you for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes as outlined in this Policy Statement unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law.

SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

PCI compliance, short for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), is a proprietary series of standards and best practices for payment security. The Company adheres to PCI DSS and is committed to protecting the security of your Personal Information as required by law. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, use, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

Any information we collect will be securely processed, stored and archived in databases and backups that could reside outside of your jurisdiction, including without limitation the Hong Kong Special Administration.
If you have any questions about the security of your information, please contact us at atreg_compliance@keychainpay.com.

INHERENT RISKS AND PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

As with other mobile payment software, there is always the possibility that KeyChain Pay could be mis-used as a tool for hacking and/or phishing and/or money laundering including but not limited to the use of stolen Debit / Credit cards (collectively, "Risks"). The Company will establish the relevant controls and exercise all reasonable extents to minimise the Risks but the controls may not eliminate or avoid all fraudulent or wilful actions. Users are required to provide real identity and true and correct information for the use of Service.

The Company adopts payment tokenisation which replaces the traditional payment card account number with a unique digital token in online and mobile transactions. Tokens can be restricted for transactions with a specific mobile device, merchant or transaction type. The tokenisation process happens in the background in a way that is invisible to the consumer. Tokenisation is intended to reduce the threat of sensitive payment data being usable by fraudsters if compromised.

EXEMPTION OF LIABILITY

The Company, its affiliates, employees, officers and agents shall not be liable for (i) any disclosure of your Personal Information as required by law or relevant governmental authority; (ii) any disclosure of your Personal Information as a result of your own actions or negligent acts (including without limitation the disclosure by you of your Personal Information to any websites, forums, or social networking sites); (iii) any consequence resulting from hackers, computer viruses or temporary closure of our services; or (v) any consequence resulting beyond the Company’s control.

In addition, all provisions of the T&C, including without limitation the limitation of liability and indemnification provisions shall also apply.
